Chop the garlic, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt, and mash to a paste with the flat side of a chef's knife. Put the paste in a large serving bowl and whisk in the olive oil, vinegar, thyme, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Gently stir in the pear and cherries. Add the greens, chicken, and pecans and toss to coat. Season to taste with more salt and pepper and serve immediately.

made it?

by DonnaDo, 10/11/2010Made this for dinner last night and my husband and I really liked it. Good combination of flavors and textures. Served with a warm crusty garlic bread it makes a great easy meal.

by Heidij74, 9/30/2010Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! I subbed cranberries for the cherries and walnuts for the pecans, because that's what I had on hand. I also added some gorgonzola crumbles. Tasty and satisfying!
